Pune Police apprehended Shivani Vishal Agarwal, mother of the juvenile suspect involved in the tragic Porsche crash on 19th May.
The accident resulted in the loss of two lives and has since been the subject of intense scrutiny.
Agarwal’s arrest marks a significant turn in the investigation, particularly concerning suspicions of tampering with blood samples at Sassoon General Hospital, a matter that has garnered widespread attention.
Authorities took Agarwal into custody on Saturday on allegations suggesting she replaced her own blood sample with that of her 17-year-old son.
It is believed that medical staff at the hospital facilitated this purported switch to absolve the juvenile of responsibility for the fatal incident.
As the police probe progressed, it became apparent that Shivani Vishal Agarwal had been evasive in recent days, raising further questions.
This arrest follows the detention of the juvenile’s father, Vishal S. Agarwal, and grandfather, Surendrakumar B Agarwal, in connection to the crash.
The incident, which triggered national outrage, prompted a thorough investigation into its circumstances.
Authorities are diligently pursuing leads and gathering evidence to establish the complete chain of events leading to the tragedy.
Agarwal’s arrest underscores the seriousness of the allegations surrounding the manipulation of critical forensic evidence and underscores the complexity of the ongoing inquiry.
